# Expose FastAPI routes as MCP tools with FastAPI-MCP

Mount FastAPI-MCP on an existing FastAPI app so agents can call authenticated route-backed MCP tools with preserved schemas.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.10+, FastAPI application, fastapi-mcp package, MCP-capable client

## Installation

Install with uv, as recommended upstream:

- uv add fastapi-mcp

Alternatively, install with pip:

- pip install fastapi-mcp

After mounting FastAPI-MCP in your app, the generated MCP server is available at your app base URL plus /mcp.
